California Rain:

A substantial storm will finally bring days of rain to start the week across all of the state of California. This is especially great news because portions of the state is currently experiencing a drought. The Sierra Nevada will also receive feet of snow, something that has been scarce this winter.

January Thaw:

A brief round of warmer weather will finally work into the Eastern U.S. as the trough breaks down this week, but there are hopes for more periods of warmth in the future this January.

Stay tuned for this story.

Pair of Winter Storms:
